help with clever control scheme/ recommendations?

hey gang, i've got a bit of a design problem

basically, i'm trying to engineer a control scheme for my friend who likes the zoia's effects but finds it frustrating to make changes in a live setting. i also find this frustrating, but i'm more used to dealing with it...

so i was thinking it'd be cool to basically have it where one row or maybe one column is the control for one effect parameter (or maybe a meta control for a few parameters). and if you hit the pad on the far left of the row (or bottom of a column) it'd set the parameter to minimum, hit the far right (or top) and you'd set it to max. and i guess it'd be ideal for it to stay lit up to provide visual feedback.

and i'm having a real hard time hashing this out. i think it's the kind of thing that just makes my brain not want to work

so i was wondering if anyone had experience trying this sort of thing, or maybe knew of any existing patches that employed similar control schemes. or i guess if anyone had any suggestions for other control surface ideas that might be similarly useful?
